The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Dynamic Class freighter - SW

We got a Dynamic class freighter in my Kotor Star Wars game to act as a party ship. And because we are playing couriers/smugglers we had to mod it out. So I made a map of our new freighter. I decided to go with inconstant griding to give each room the sense of being the center of attention. It makes for a bit of messiness at the room transition points (doors and whatnot). But all in all I am happy with the results. If you have any suggestions on improvement I would be happy to hear them.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Wow that's pretty nice. I like the over head view and the colors.
My only critique is that the paintjob on the outside of the ship looks a little too clean for my taste.
Maybe grunge it up just a bit with some kind of haze and dark rough spots here and there.
Haha I guess all ships were shiny and new at one point in time thoug, eh?

agree with fuse - the details in the internal map should be reflected in the external bits too... so throw some texture on the hull and on the floor (deck plates) - and maybe som scorch marks? ..otherwise, really nice - happy flying ... here is some rep for your cargohold
